The Ash have released 26 studio albums, 21 live albums and 18 compilation albums. Their last studio album 'Coat Of Arms' came out in 2020, which I purchased a week ago. Andy Powell is the only original member left. There has also been 'Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash' touring but that is not the 'official' Wishbone Ash and didn't release any albums. They had some misses over the years, they spent a fair while sucking up to the US market which lead to some average albums (avoid their sixth album 'Locked In', it's complete soft cock tripe) but overall, there's more good than bad. Thanks ! Looks like I've got a bit of catching up to do, appreciate the advice.

stevoz Posted March 19 Author Posted March 19 Today on the way home from work (@ the Vintage Bazaar), Bob Marley & the Wailers "Babylon By Bus" Oz 1st pressing 2 x LP. The cover is fairly bad but the records look NM, for $15 I wasn't going to say no.....plus it came with the original poster. Looking at the great song line up I thought it was a studio best of......no it's all live. Even better! I have 'Live! At The Lyceum' as well so this completes the live Marley/Wailers releases (released while Bob was still alive at least). 5
stevoz Posted March 20 Author Posted March 20 (edited) Just now on Discogs, V Spy V Spy "Xenophobia [Why?]" NM German 1st pressing (Record Service Alsdorf). Would have loved an Oz pressing with the lacquer cut by DB but the only two NM ones were way too expensive.....this should be fine. Edited March 20 by stevoz

Almaz Posted Monday at 07:24 AM Posted Monday at 07:24 AM Arrived and installed today. Denon DL301-mrk2. Very happy with this cartridge for the price. Easy to setup, nice detail and sound stage, less surface noise, all in all a wonderful cartridge for a bargain price. Set up the Klyne phono stage at 100 ohms. 4

With a coil impedance of 33 ohms ... can I suggest you try a lot higher loading? I would think the optimal loading will be between 330 ohm ... and 3300 ohm. (When I had my Benz LP (also 33 ohms) ... I ran it at 3300 ohms.) 1

Which f'wit courier left it on your doorstep? (I've just had problems with "Team Global Express" - aka "Toll Priority". they should've delivered the parcel last Tusday. On their 4th attempt ... they actually did!)

Almaz Posted Monday at 08:36 AM Posted Monday at 08:36 AM Yello would sound wonderful on Vinyl. One of my favourite streaming albums. Can I please ask if it is well recorded and produced?

But when I get to chance to sit down and listen to, I’ll give my thoughts. 1

I think the problem is that the courier companies pay peanuts ... so their people need to take the minimum time to deliver. I like AusPost because if they can't deliver to me ... they take it round the corner, to my local PO.

Ash76 Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago Went to JB Hi-Fi with the intention of picking up a particular record but they didn't have it in stock. Instead I found this new release (released last November) from one of my favourite local bands from the 90s. Didn't realise they were still going and their classic albums aren't in vinyl so I've kind of lost touch with them. The album title comes from it being recorded in Bali. The Fauves - Tropical Strength 2024 Aussie pressing
Spinspin69 Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I sure hope this counts as analogue - stunning book (not to mention massive)... 2
